In a paper published in 1883 Ogston had this to say of the "micrococci": "Yet when the animal (injected with "micrococci" taken from a suppurative infection) is subjected to microscopic scrutiny, we find that at the seemingly unimportant injection site an enormous and appalling growth of deadly organisms, in numbers that would be but faintly computed by millions, while the blood which we would naturally have supposed to be richly inhabited, is so poorly provided with the organism that it is clear that the chemical intoxication by the ptomaine, not the vital injection of the germ, has been the cause of death".
